4 players leaving...

Re: 4 players leaving...

I was thinking, JuCo 7 footer, who likes the mid-west so he turned down the big schools, a high D-I transfer who can play defense and shoot 3's who can play right away, and then a TOP150 6'8" wing who got confused with the SDSU's and thought he was going to San Diego

. . . and a pony . . .

I'm sure they will bring in players that can help no matter what year, but I'm wondering if they won't look more at a senior that can play right away rather then a junior JuCo, because of the 4 scholarships in that class.

I was thinking so too. I know Nagy has mentioned before that he likes to keep the scholarships balanced.

Sometimes you will see teams bring in JUCO players with just 1 year of experience so they come in as sophomores. They are harder to find though.

Re: 4 players leaving...

Per TV:

Alex Olson, Austin Hennings, Sam Francis and Zach Monaghan.

Only person from this list that surprises me is Monaghan. As others have mentioned, he seemed to always be the first one off the bench giving high fives and seemed to be a great teammate. Regardless of his lack of playing time, Zach was definitely a contributor to the Summit League championship run and I wish him the best.

Francis is a blessing. He wasn't cutting it.

Zach is surprising, but probably saw the writing on the wall with Bittle coming in. That's the life of D-1 when you can get out recruited and lose playing time. Great kid though.

Re: 4 players leaving...

Agree with those who say Zach M probably saw the writing on the wall with the Bittle signing. Too bad, I concur with alot of people that he seems like a great teammate.

Nagy only played 6 players some game this year... next year... arguably we'll see some more rotations... Probably Heemstra, Prince, and Horstman as the top 3 off the bench.

Also, noticed that when Nate got in some foul trouble and had to sit out... if it was a tight/meaningful game... Carlson took over the point and Zach M. stayed seated. Just saying he's probably got a better chance to play somewhere else.

Kinda forgot about Feilmeier...is he on a scholly? If not, that could possibly mean 4 open schollys for the upcoming year. Gonna get interesting!

They were both walk-ons, Jacobsen was preferred and recruited walk-on where Feilmeier I believe was a true walk-on. I do believe Nagy and staff, have given scholarships on a 1 year basis to walk-ons who "earned" it in the past. So if there is 1 or 2 available they could receive a scholarship.

Re: 4 players leaving...

I know they'd love to find a JUCO big man, a true 5 who's ready to play. The problem is there aren't a lot of good JUCO bigs, that level is dominated at times by guards who are trying to put up numbers and earn scholarships. Even though teams may roster physically big kids they don't get the experience at that level to either develop or show their ability. I know they're looking...the couple extra scholarships won't hurt that effort.

And that really shouldn't surprise anyone, including Zach. Carlson's got three years in the system. You've got to expect the veteran players are gonna get the minutes when the team is good.

Nagy talked about this on that internet sports show; said that a lot of mid majors will have good 2-3 year runs, but the quality of their recruits starts to drop off when kids know they won't get minutes right off the bat.

Re: 4 players leaving...

From the Argus Leader:

About Monaghan: “That one bothered me the most,” Nagy said. “That one was not mutual. He wanted to go someplace else. He felt like it was in his best interest.”

All four are expected to try to continue their careers elsewhere. That leaves SDSU with three scholarship openings going forward, factoring in two prior commitments for 2012-13. Nagy said he’d like to fill at least one of those and hold one for the future in order to balance our classes.
